Davis Products, Vantage Pro Plus

The Vantage Pro Plus console and Integrated sensor Suite (ISS)

Sensors include:
  • Rain collector
  • Temperature Sensor
  • Humidity Sensor
  • Anemometer
  • Solar Radiation Sensor - Measures solar radiation
  • UV Sensor - Measures the sunburning portion of the UV spectrum. Allows you to display UV index, dose rate, and daily and accumulated dose.
Temperature and humidity sensors are enclosed in solar-powered fan-aspirated radiation shield. Shield combines active and passive aspiration to minimize the effects of radiation.

ISS is solar powered. Transmitter and battery are located inside radiation shield.

Wireless range is up to 400' (120 m) outdoors, line of sight. Typical range through walls under most conditions is 75' to 150' (23 to 46m). Add wireless repeaters for distances up to 0.6 miles (1 km).

Additionally, I have installed a Wireless Temperature Station, which is reading the inside temperature of our family chicken coop.

The Weather Station is installed on the roof of the North side of our house. Our house (and the station) is located in Victoria, Minnesota USA on Lake Wasserman. Victoria is a western suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Approximately 25 miles west of the the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (KMSP) and approximately 15 miles west of the Flying Cloud Airport (KFCM).

Weather Display software encoded most of the weather data onto these web pages.
